There is peer-reviewed research demonstrating Nedlaw Living Walls’ effectiveness at processing air pollutants like VOCs, which is why we refer to them as Biofilters.
 

We've compiled over 20 years of research into documents and case studies. Here are several that are now available. Please contact us for information on any specific area of interest.
